Congratulations to Megan Bender, fifth-grade teacher at Charles E. Schwarting Elementary School, on being named the New York Islanders Teacher of the Month!
Megan says her inspiration comes from watching students uncover strengths they never knew they had. Those moments when confidence grows, strategies click, and small steps become big wins. Their resilience, humor, and individuality motivate her to be her best every single day.
We’re so proud to celebrate Megan and the incredible difference she makes in the lives of her students! 💙
